​A series of urban activism actions, realized in Oostende for Crystal Ship Festival, that move from urban installation to site-specific performance, from improvisation to urban furniture's transformation.A common and constant element: each intervention has a social message addressed to the common people, to invite them to think and reflect about their daily problems.

"Biancoshock is without a doubt one of the worlds leading urban interventionists working today, with a sharp eye for the ridiculous alongside propagating hard hitting socio cultural commentary, his work embodies all that Nuart strive to create a platform for. His work continues, as far as we’re concerned, street arts authentic linage, from the likes of John Fekner and Jenny Holzer to Darius and Downey and Harmen De Hoop. Artists who operate outside of traditional gallery systems and who have consistently used the streets to challenge the cultural hegemony.When The Crystal Ship Festival reached out with an invitation to participate in curating an artist into their program that represented Nuart’s core values, then Biancoshock was one of a very few obvious choices. He’s an artist capable of providing the cultural glitches required to see the city and life anew. Like Nuart, his work embodies aspects of both Situationism and Dada and I’m sure he would identify with its founder Hugo Ball when he stated, "For us, art is not an end in itself... but an opportunity for the true perception and criticism of the times we live in”.​(Martyn Reed)
